        You would have been saying the same if we were alive and talking about Guy Fawkes after he tried to blow up Parliament.

        He stood the test of time, so why wouldn’t Luigi.

                  Exactly. Let’s be honest, if wishes alone could kill, there wouldn’t be a single US health insurance executive alive within 24 hours. The only reason we all don’t become a Luigi is we’re not prepared to throw our lives away for it. Fear of the law is the only thing keeping those bastards above dirt.

                  That’s not 100% true. i’m frustrated with my goverment in some aspects, but bombing it wouldn’t fix my problems.

                    Being country agnostic for a moment, I don’t really see how other methods have been able to bring about change. You can try protesting and the police will beat you, you can try petitions but nothing changes, you can march and nothing changes.

                    Wasn’t it JFK that said something along the lines of you don’t allow a peaceful revolution then you make a violent one inevitable.

                    I’m not out here being violent, but I can’t say I’m sad about Brian Thompson, in fact I’m filled with glee that this might bring about some change for my American counterparts.

        Well, you want to know a cold, hard, undeniable fact, grounded in the very fabric of reality?

        Brian Robert Thompson will never kill again.

        40,000 victims. But not one more.
